Rita Hayworth's own singing voice is heard in the introductions to her songs otherwise dubbed by Jo Ann Greer.
After Columbia producer Harry Cohn saw the success of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth in Cover Girl, he promised this film to them. (Kelly had his big break by creating the role of Joey Evans on Broadway.) Sadly, the story took another 15 years to reach the screen and by that time, Kelly was under contract to MGM. Hayworth was cast as the older woman, with Kim Novak now playing the younger woman.
The original Broadway stage production of "Pal Joey" opened at Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City on December 25, 1940 and ran for 374 performances.
Billy Wilder was the original choice to direct. He discussed it with Columbia studio head Harry Cohn over lunch one day. Not only did Cohn turn down him as director, but he later sent Wilder a bill for their lunch.
'Kim Novak''s singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Stevens (nee Gertrude Ewan).
